I've a 'running rant' about FBX imports on the 'wish list' thread. Here's the short version... First, find an appropriate import scale, which may vary from ~0.5 ~~3500 %. A very, very few FBX models are **correctly **rigged, load like it says on the tin. Posing them is non-trivial, but can be done without re-rigging. Some are 'welded solid' like an OBJ prop. Some arrive as a jumbled heap, per your example above. Some arrive as a flock of free-flying parts, must be parented to a 'place-holder'...
Oh, and if textures etc do not auto-load, there's no obvious way to aim Poser at FBX's associated texture directory per eg 3D Paint and say, 'There you go'. Hand-loading 50+ materials' texture maps etc is a total pain. I've resorted to exporting FBX files as ASCII from AutoDesk's free FBX toolkit, just to get a plain-text listing...
